[Ravensfort] Defender of the Fort question

[byzytym]

Defender every three years would be good.

Better still, would be to hold a Championship when a new B&B is invested.
Then keep the Champion as long as they serve the Barony 
or until a new B&B steps up.
The frequency would be totally up to the B&B's discretion.
It would make the actual event a really, really big deal.
It would also be a break from doing the same old dance year after year.
Just an idea that I've heard kicked around.

Peace,

  Defender I.  My first attempt was rained out and we just had morning court. My second attempt was hurricaned out. My third attempt was great. So defender every 3 years.

    I can't remember which one was III, but I was at it, so that would be either 1988 or 1989, the year of the first Investiture.

    It couldn't have been 1990, because I know there was a Defender in 1987 (1990 was IV or V). I didn't go to the one in 1987, but I had been to Kingdom Bardic College in Conroe that summer (Hector and Rowan were still King and Queen).

    So the question is: Was there a Defender in 1986? If there was, then 1988 was Defender III; if not, 1989 was Defender III.

    Another clue: Seamus and Karlanna were King and Queen in 1987, while Inman and Drusilla were King and Queen in 1986. Who was on the throne at the first Defender?

    So...

    if Defender I was in 1986 (with Inman and Drusilla on the thrones), Defender III was in 1988, Defender XXIII would have been in 2008, and this year would be Defender XXV. If Defender I was in 1987 (with Seamus and Karlanna on the thrones), Defender III would have been in 1989, Defender XXIII would have been in 2009, and this year would be Defender XXIV.

      Which Defender will this be?
      I think last year was 21 1/2 since number 21
      was hurricaned out.
